Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chair arrangement in which the seat and back of the chair are tiltable relative to one another and relative to the base of the chair, where the seat frame of the chair consists of a forward, spring-loaded seat mounting which is sprung against a balance board attached to an upper portion of the base, the seat mounting at the rear being tiltably connected to a connecting piece via a first tilt shaft, wherein the connecting piece at the rear is rigidly connected to the chair back frame, and wherein the connecting piece at its forward end is articulated to the forward seat mounting close to an upper portion of the base.
  • the angling of the chair seat and back in relation to the base or the mutual angling of the seat and back in relation to the base may control the position of the neck rest through the use of two control rods from the seat level up to the neck rest.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to remedy the problems which are especially associated with chairs that have thin chair backs.
  • Fig. 1 shows a chair 1 in which the chair seat and back are tiltable relative to one another and relative to the chair base 2, where the seat frame of the chair consists of a forward spring loaded seat mounting 3 which is sprung against a balance board 4 fastened to an upper portion 2' of the base 2.
  • the spring loading is provided by means of a spring 4' which can be tensioned by reducing the effective length of a bolt 4" with the aid of an adjusting screw 4"'.
  • the starting position for the mounting 3 is in Fig. 1 shown to be +4°.
  • the seat mounting 3 at the rear is connected to a seat connecting piece 5 via a first tilt shaft 6.
  • the connecting piece functions as a back attachment for the rear part of the seat.
  • the connecting piece 5 at the rear 5' is rigidly connected to the chair back frame 7 or back shell.
  • the connecting piece 5 is articulated to a first bracket 8 that is tiltably connected to the forward seat mounting 3.
  • the first bracket 8 is positioned close to the central upper portion 2' of the base, i.e., closer to the forward area of the seat than the shaft 6.
  • the chair back 7 is equipped at the top with a spring-loaded neck rest holder which has supporting uprights 9, and where the neck rest uprights 9 are tiltable about a pivot joint 10 in a neck rest mechanism 11 which preferably has frictional properties.
  • the spring loading is provided by means of a spring 12 which tightens partly against a cross member 9' associated with the uprights 9 and partly against a second cross member 13' associated with one single back rod 13.
  • the reference numeral 11' indicates fastening nuts on the mechanism for securing to the chair back 7 with the aid of bolts (not shown).
  • the neck rest uprights 9 have at least one tilt arm 14 that is pivotally connected to the back rod 13 via the cross member 13'.
  • a lug 14' Arranged to the cross member of the tilt arms is a lug 14' which is equipped with a pin 14" that is movable in a groove 15 in the neck rest mechanism 11 to limit the angle of motion of the neck rest forwards and backwards in relation to the chair back 7.
  • the back 7 may in a starting position have a backward inclination of an angle ⁇ , for example, 5°.
  • an angle ⁇ for example, 5°.
  • the back rod 13 extends down along the rear of the back 7 in a recess 7' therein and at the bottom 13" is articulated 21 to a rear end 16' of a bar 16 that extends forwards towards a rear, lower portion 3' of the seat mounting 3, where it is in engagement with a second bracket 17 that is fastened to said portion 3'.
  • the bar 16 is preferably solid with a square or rectangular cross-section, but may optionally be configured as a tube having such a cross-section.
  • the bar 16 at its forward portion 16" is connected to the second bracket 17 and at an area between the forward 16" and rear 16' portion of the bar is fastened to the rear, lower portion 3' of the mounting by means of a bolt 18, as shown in Figs. 1 , 2 and 11 .
  • this solution permits a maximum tilt of the neck rest uprights 9 at an angle ⁇ , which in this case is the chosen example of 34.9°. This maximum deflection is not adjustable, unlike the possibilities provided in a second embodiment of the arrangement.
  • the bar 16 at its forward end is in tiltable engagement with the rear lower portion 3' of the seat mounting via said second bracket 17 and at an area 16'" between the forward 16" and rear 16' portion of the bar 16 is tiltably connected to the connecting piece 5 via a second tilt shaft 19 that is fastened to the connecting piece 5 and which extends through a selected hole 16 "" transverse to the bar.
  • the bolt 18 as shown in Fig. 1 has not been mounted in this embodiment, such that the bar 16 thus - in this second embodiment - is tiltable in relation to the seat mounting 3.
  • the tilt shaft 19 can be secured at the end thereof in suitable holes 5'" in the side members 5"" of the connecting piece 5.
  • FIG. 12 An alternative to the embodiment in Fig. 12 is that instead of the fixing holes 5"', a separate fixing mounting 20 is used which has side members 20' and fixing holes 20". This means that the shaft 19 ends are thus delimited by the side members 5"" which lie external to the side members 20'.
  • This mounting 20 has fastening nuts 20'" so as to be attachable with the aid of screws (not shown) to the connecting piece 5.
  • Fig. 14 for the sake of clarity, the connecting piece 5 is not shown mounted.
  • Fig. 3 shows that the seat mounting 3 is tilted forwards from +4° to -3°, i.e., 7° forwards in relation to that shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the rear point 16'" is used for the hole 16"" and the neck rest uprights 9 stand at 7.5°, tilted backwards relative to the back.
  • ⁇ will be 14.7°, i.e., the neck rest uprights are tilted forwards 14.7° in relation to the back 7.
  • ⁇ is 18.5°, i.e., the neck rest uprights are tilted forwards 18.5° relative to the back 7.
  • ⁇ is 28.2°, i.e., the neck rest uprights are tilted forwards 28.2° relative to the back 7.
  • ⁇ is 34.3°, i.e., the neck rest uprights are tilted forwards 34.3° relative to the back 7.
  • the second embodiment of the arrangement thus permits variation of the maximum angular position of the neck rest relative to the back adapted to the needs of the chair user.
  • the third embodiment of the arrangement is shown in Figs. 9 and 10 .
  • the starting position as shown in Fig. 9 , is with the seat mounting tilting backwards +4°, and the neck rest uprights 9 form 0° with the back 7.
  • This embodiment corresponds to that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 , apart from the fastening bolt 18 not being present.
  • the bar 16 at its forward end 16" is in tiltable engagement with a second bracket 17 on the rear, lower portion 3' of the seat mounting 3, and at an area 16'" between the forward 16" and rear 16' portion of the bar in abutment with the first tilt shaft 6.
  • the mode of operation in the first and the third embodiment is largely controlled by the possibility of reciprocal motion between the seat mounting 3 and the connecting piece 5, where the bar 16 in the first embodiment is secured to the seat mounting 3 and thus follows the motions thereof.
  • the simultaneous tilting of the connecting piece 5 and the back 7 relative to the seat mounting 3 causes the rod 13 to be pushed slightly upwards along the back so as to actuate the neck rest mechanism 11.
  • the bar 16 is fixed in relation to the seat mounting 3 in that it lies at all times against the shaft 6 which is fastened to the seat mounting 3. Actuation of the neck rest mechanism 11 in this case is like that in the first embodiment and with almost as great an angle of deflection for the neck rest holder 9.
  • the second embodiment is related to reciprocal motion between the seat mounting 3 and the connecting piece 5/back 7, and in that the bar 16 is in tiltable engagement both with the seat mounting 3 and with the connecting piece 5.
  • the adjustable distance between the shaft 6 and the shaft 19 will be determining for the size of the lever arm which acts on the bar 16 when the connecting piece 5 tilts about the shaft 6, limited by the engagement between the first bracket 8 and the forward end 5" of the connecting piece 5.
  • this embodiment will be related to maximum tilting angles for the neck rest relative to the chair back as a function of the distance of the tilt shaft 19 from the articulation 21, with increasing maximum tilting angle with increasing distance of the tilt shaft 19 from the articulation 21.
  • the neck rest holder 9 will pivot approximately as much as in the first embodiment, but in another way.
  • the starting position for the neck rest holder 9 is normally 0° in relation to the back, even though a deviation is shown in Fig. 3 .
  • the starting position of the seat mounting 3 will be +4° (tilted backwards in relation to the horizontal).
  • the seat mounting 3 will, for example, tilt 15° backwards.
  • the connecting piece 5 with the back 7 fastened thereto will thus tilt 15° + 5.6° extra.
  • These 5.6° extra thus give an application of force to the bar 16, and thence via the back rod 13 to the neck rest mechanism 11.
  • the neck rest holder 9 is pivoted forward to a desired angle in relation to the back.
  • a neck rest (not shown) mounted on the neck rest holder 9 will of course be adjustable in the vertical direction in a known way per se.
  • a friction mechanism that is included in the neck rest mechanism 11 will be capable of being overridden by the chair user independent of the other parts of the arrangement.
  • An angle of 35° has been chosen as maximum angular deflection for the neck rest holder 9 when sitting leaning back in the chair, whilst 8° has been chosen for the forward direction from the starting position.
